There obviously aren't any, the R had to go to New Hampshire to find one.


emphasise again here the word ?some? ? some of these lands. So just to repeat again, we're not talking about our national parks. We?re not talking about our national monuments. We?re not talking about declared wilderness. We?re talking about land that is sitting there ? untouched, untouchable, garden-variety land.

Mike Lee

Can we at least agree to stop using the word Transfer?

He isnt, he talking about selling everything not a national park.

That means your "garden variety" Boulder, Kaibab, Manti, etc, etc.

You elitists that hunt public land(Lee's name for us all) will just need to realize the disaster it is, and how much better things will be when that changes.

You speak out both sides of your mouth.

Black and white gray area blah blah blah.

They took your stream access they want to sell off our public lands but like most TARDS you'll keep voting for who ever has an R next to their name.

Griz I stand corrected, after digging through all of his pictures there is one picture of him on a bike with a longbow on his back. There's also one picture of him teaching a young kid how to shoot a bow. So do I use your logic and say this is proof he's just like Obama, Kerry, and Kagan? My junior high gym teacher taught us archery and he never hunted a day in his life. But because I'm not illogical I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. The longer this thread goes on the more suspect I become of BHA.

Check Richard Berman page, you keep quoting his nonsense. He must know a ton about hunting, fishing. He looks like a real hard core outdoorsman as well.

Check Don Peays. I bet his is covered with dead critters, and had only knows what a gem he is for public land.

DW. You should just keep on supporting the dudes that keep giving you the results you don't like. That makes perfect sense

There has been a lot of discussion regarding BHA on this forum, some of it constructive and some not-so-much.

Everybody should come to the BHA Pint Night on August 7th at Fisher Brewing, 320 W. 820 S. from 6-9pm to see for themselves what BHA stands for and talk hunting.

BHA President Land Tawney as well as Chapter Coordinator Ty Stubblefield will be there to tell stories and talk public lands.

Fisher Brewery is donating a portion of proceeds back to BHA. Hope everybody can make it. 21+ as they do serve alcohol, and non-alcholic drinks if you prefer ;-)

I feel that the environmental groups are so radical that they use decoy tactics to get what they want.

I am not a member, I've never been to a rendezvous either. However, it's a gut feeling that yes their root support is that of environmental radicalism.

These groups are smart, what a good way to get all the sportsman on your side.... join them in their cause. PUBLIC LANDS.

And all the while fighting them on HUNTING with the other Non-Prof organizations.

I'm sorry but when you have environmental radicals making a speech at a hunting rendezvous it just doesn't pass the smell test.

Now that being said, I am a supporter of keeping our public lands from state control. I personally don't trust the policy makers to protect them from being sold off.

But here is my other beef, I live here at the base of the Cottonwood Canyons here is SLC, and the activities groups are on the edge of winning a big ?Behavioral Change? by people who want to access the canyons.

Activism is relentless and environmental activism has one goal to change people?s behavior.

When all the people involved change via policy how we access big and little cottonwood canyons to the way they want what happens is they take away our freedoms.

BHA to me is a decoy group to change our behavior and eventually they will win. It's just a matter of time.

I like Newberg, but the more I listen to him the more I scratch my head.

When he says in a podcast that the public land issue super seeds abortion and he votes accordingly that's where he starts to loose me!!

I think you are where I was years back. I think your concern is just.

Ill just say this. Locally, last session when Mike Noel pushed a bill(for a developer) to open development of the SL watershed, BHA put out a call to action. I called the majority of the state legislature. Is always ask who else was calling. There were a bunch of "save our canyon" folks, some BHA folks, and very few others. The bill lost. I saw some nice bucks killed from that country this fall. Point is, hunting got protected.

As to Yvon. When I saw he was speaking I started reading. He's a VERY different dude. He is iffy at best on hunting, anti predator hunting. BUT. He is a very avid fisherman. Very avid outdoorsman. I'm sure he's spent 10x the time on mtn that I have.

Compare that to Mike Lee, or Mitt Romney. My point, Yvon has a pretty deep attachment to wild places and a huge bank account and small army who will fight for it.

Lee, Romney live in DC. They have zero attachment. Zero passion for it. To them its just undeveloped dirt, dumping it is a simple Buisness transaction.

So. If the land sell crowd loses, public land wins then what?
I'm sure we then get to fight the Patagonia crowd.

You don't start picking out carpet before you have a foundation. Meaning, we know the state has a bank account for suing. We know they have a law firm on retainer. We know they have 2 senators to lead.
You have to pick the biggest threat first.


As for abortion? I get your thought, ill only say notice Mitt Romney's first bill isn't aimed at abortion, or gun rights. Mike Lee hasn't done anything on the subject either other than talk, and use it to smokescreen his actual actions with his base.

Check out TRCP if your not a fan of BHA but want to oppose the land sellers.

and as far as abortion BFD. Any type of population control is a good thing. The less people on this planet the better for everyone and everything. You ever hear what happens when too many rats are in a cage? Humans are worse than rats. Btw I'm a strong supporter of capital punishment too.

Well to your first question:

The cottonwood canyons have and are being attacked by environmental activists. Their goal (IMO) is ultimately make it wilderness. The save my canyon crowd, cottonwood alliance groups, city councils, state legislatures and now state agencies like UDOT are all making big head way on restriction to the canyons.

Last year state legislators pass a bill to allow the use of camera technology to toll everyone that enters the canyons. Now you may say well there's nothing wrong with that America Fork is a toll, Mill creek is a toll. But that is where you are wrong. Those canyons are managed completely different. The cottonwoods have a state road that is managed by UDOT. It have 4 ski resorts at the end of them. Big has a pass into summit county, there are businesses and residents that live there. They aren't just recreational canyons.

These groups want to push public transportation, car pooling, concrete parking structures at the base of the canyons. They are going to toll. The bill passed allows the DMV to collect the toll. You won't even know it because there isn't going to be a ?Booth? it will scan your license plate and then you will get a bill from The state of Utah.

I ski, I drive a diesel truck, I don't always have a ski partner and I often drive solo. I like to hunt solo, I make early morning drives up the canyons to scout and hunt. I am using a state road that is already paid for by taxes to access ?My Public Lands? I also use it to get to a business ?the ski resorts?

I own a business, people don't have to pay a toll to get to my business. Also if I have lots of people coming to my business and I don't have the parking for them who's problem is that? It's mine, I think I should do something to expand my parking lot. So why aren't the ski resorts paying for their own crab.

A toll is a tax

Furthermore they freak out about ?clean Air? yet if I want to drive out of the inversion the quickest way is up the canyons to ?get fresh air? so now I'm being taxed to get fresh air?

See the radicalism?

They don't stop there! They want full closure from vehicles! They want to make the cottonwood canyons like a NP...Zion?s NP makes you use a shuttle to get up it. I've had people from this cause say just that, that they want shuttle access only.

That isn't going to have an impact on the environment??. Let's build out a rail cart next to the road, fest idea!

They will never stop, and the more and more liberals move in here the worse it's going to get.

Can you imagine having a dead bull elk that you need to put on the trolley car along with all the tree huggers? Stupid.

Ever listen to the news? All media outlets, go to bank and see ?idle free? signs? They repeat over and over air quality. You can't escape the relentless effort to make this issue a house hold topic of conversation. This just like car pooling is a ? Behavioral change? that they ultimately want you to comply with. It's radical and it's infringing on our freedoms.

I'm not saying ?education on better more efficient ways to reduce congestion isn't wrong but they jumped over education of it and are going to make you comply.


Now as to your last comment on population control I am hoping you are kidding?
 
I ski the bird about 50 days a year. I agree with you 100%.

As far as the other....let me know what the quality of life in Utah is when there's 10 million people living there.
 
After the wolf wars I said I would never join another hunting group. I have been involved with the top hunting organizations for along time and I have taught my kids to give back to wildlife and get involved with people who are doing work on public lands. I know quite a few BHA members up here and they don't talk about wolves nor do they hunt them. I watched Yvon and Kenton Carruth of fist lite talking about public lands and protecting them. Yvon claims to be a pure socialist. My question to you guys, is BHA a liberal hunting organization

I find it funny that any hunter talks about socialism. The North American model is a socialist model. The wildlife belongs "to the people".

But this is the game right? If you use that "liberal" dog whistle all the locksteppers instantly are supposed to get in line. If Rob Bishop calls Yvon a socialist, you are supposed to look past ALL that Bishop does and blindly get in line?

Our session here in Utah is getting heated up. You want to bet how many ANTI hunting bills come up , written by "conservatives"?

If 70% of hunters hunt public land, ANY attempt to sell off that land IS ANTI HUNTER. But I guess that's ok as long as there is an R next to that anti hunter.

Mike Lee is the biggest anti hunter in the country. And he's an R, and "conservative". He will end hunting if he's successful.

WAKE UP. That R is only points to what the D is supposedly doing. The R never can point to what he has done.

Idaho is "liberal" to utahns, look at the liquor laws and lottery.

Ill take Yvon who practically lives outdoors, over Mike Lee who grew up in DC any day.

As usual, you have spent 10 seconds actually looking into your claims.
At some point are you ever going to have that smoking gun that shows BHA is anti hunting? Not some dude speaking his mind, cuz for every dude you quote in Colorado ill match with dudes like Ty Stubblefield who was a professional logger who detests "environmentalists"

Where has BHA taken an anti hunting stance?


I get your uncomfortable breaking out of that R good D bad mindset. I mean what would the neighbors think if you had an open mind?

As a member of BHA, I'm willing to go wolf hunting with anybody who will take me... just to prove we hunt wolves, of course. Not because I just really want to get a wolf ;-)

It is funny to me that the same guys in the political forum who chant "fake news" are so eager to quote it.

We don't have wolves in Utah(eye roll, cough, cough), we paid BGF to protect us. If we did ill go hunt one, with my AR, wearing my BHA hat.

But I know, some dude in Colorado has an opinion, so obviously I'm a "liberal hunter".

Hoss, not every reply has to be an all out assault on the person asking the question. I think it was a fair question, and one you are trying way to hard to avoid. Like usual.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
 
I think BHA is a hunting, fishing, conservation organization. Whether it is conservative or liberal, I'm not sure I could answer that. I believe the last poll of membership showed about 30% republican, 30% Democrat, 30% Independent and 10% unaffiliated. Read into that as you see fit. I think National leadership may have a slightly more liberal mindset than I do but that is an assumption not based on any fact.

I am a BHA life-member. I talk about wolves. I hunt wolves. I have never killed one but not for a lack of trying. Closest I have been was I had 3 wolves respond to howling. They came to within 800 yds of me. Appeared to be two adults and 1 sub-adult. I would have killed any of the three had they cut that distance in half. I think having wolves in Wyoming is a very cool thing. I think it makes Wyoming a better place to explore and live. I will gladly trade all those benefits to me for a few less deer, elk, moose and bison. I don't mind the competition at all. I love the fact that we can hunt them. I feel the exact same way about Grizzlies other than I really wish we could hunt them. I think spending a week in the Absarokas hunting for the biggest, baddest boar grizzly would be the epitome of a backcountry hunt.

Hope this helps as you ponder the political leanings of BHA.

If the poster wasn't using words and phrases that come out of literature by those who oppose you'd be correct.

BUT, when I guy asks question, followed by a rant about how BHA is a wolf loving org, not realizing, or omiting that those wolf wars he discusses were pre BHA then the question is a little less FYI, and a lot more propaganda.


Ever notice neither you nor DW have produced any concrete info about this org being anti hunter?

Now First Lite is anti hunter because Kenton went fishing with Yvon?

At some point either shizz or get off the pot.




From the party of HUNTIN, FISHIN, PUBLIC LAND.
 
Here's my honest thoughts Hoss. I believe your average BHA'r is under 40. He probably came to hunting late thinking he needed to reconnect with nature, eat some all natural meat out of fear of all he's read about feedlot meat. He's a preservationist not a conservationist. He's not a fan of trapping and thinks apex predators are almost mystical. He'd do nothing to stop a trapping ban, nothing to stop a bear hunting ban, nothing to stop introductions of wolves, nothing to stop an "assault weapon" ban. Wouldn't lift a finger to fight for new bear, wolf, or lion hunts, or a trapping season where one was previously eliminated. He's not a fan of multiple use and because he's a preservationist he'd work to run most users off public lands outside of those enjoying it on foot. He doesn't know it but he's being used by a group that in the end, after he's lost interest in his new found back to the basics attitude and has moved on to the next trend, will proceed to kick the last users off those public lands, you and me! Not all BHA members fit into the box I've made above, those that don't are being used as well and should know better! Everytime I listen to a group of BHA'rs this is what I walk away thinkin. I bet I ain't alone. Flame away.

I left political leanings out of it cause we've covered it enough here.



#livelikezac
 
DW nailed it. They remind me of a bunch of elitist fly fishermen who look down their nose at the rest of us, and they would rather shut the river down than fish next to a bait fisherman. It's obvious with the company they keep.

That is true, I won't deny that. But I've also never accused BHA of being anti-hunter. So why would I produce said concrete info?

You?re so wrapped up with your emotional rants and defense of this group you've lost touch with reality and are now just making crap up.
 
I think eelgrass and DW are full of crap on their assessment of the "average" BHA member.

I think I'm pretty average, definitely above the "40 year old" comment. Definitely didn't get into hunting as an older adult, been hunting since I was 10. Tagged along with my parents and grandparents before that.

When living in Montana and had the time, I trapped all the available furbearers in the State prior to 2000 with the exception of wolverine. I trapped one of the last legal lynx ever taken.

Montana BHA was also opposed to a ballot initiative that would have put trapping on the ballot in Montana. So, they do support trapping, I cant think of a more pure backcountry experience than trapping.

The Wyoming Chapter has been responsible for keeping several public roads open (to vehicle traffic) that were petitioned by landowners to be abandoned by the county. Just today I worked on another illegal road closure and will hope to address that problem in the upcoming weeks.

As to the wolf issue, by the time BHA was formed, that issue was already largely decided by the Simpson/Tester rider that SFW tried to kill. Pretty tough to claim that BHA is pro-wolf when the seasons were already established before they group formed. The State wolf plans were already written and the lawsuits were either already decided or in the process of being decided.

The WY Chapter has a diverse bunch of people on the executive board...ages from mid 20's to 60+, men, women with various backgrounds and working in diverse fields from oil/gas to mining to outfitting to agency and NGO people.

That is 100% by design and I can tell you that I don't know a single board member that considers themselves anything but hunters of average means. Most hunt a lot of DIY and on public land. I know several have gone on guided hunts in the past and will again in the future.

IMO/E its pretty tough to put the "average" BHA member in a tiddy little box...about as much diversity as any group I've been part of.
 
LAST EDITED ON Jan-24-19 AT 10:53PM (MST)[p]I was actually at the Rendezvous last year, unlike every single one of the naysayers here. It was a bunch of serious hunters who hunt harder than any group of guys/gals I've ever been around. To say otherwise is, at best, uninformed.

It was a great event with serious hunters who love public land hunting and the backcountry.

Everybody's invited to Boise in May!

Who's the TOOL Holding/Pointing that Gun in the Lower Picture?

I Don't Care if He's Holding it above the other Guys Head!

GEEZUS!








I know so many people in so many places
They make allot of money but they got sad faces

It Ain't Easy being Me!:D:D:D
 
I didn't come on here to argue. I asked you a simple question. With your long drawn out boring paragraphs I got my answer. A man has to pick which conservation groups he wants to support, and I wish you well with yours. I am glad I have read all your posts on BHA and have decided it is not for me. Thank You Hoss, and yes DW I have been around many rodeo arena?s but you might be thinking of the other fellow from Wyoming.
 
That's the one hawk. I asked as there wasn't a state listed in your profile.

Hawk. Its sad that political analysts found a wedge to drive into our ever dwindling population. The calculation being guys will watch land be sold and do nothing if the sellers say "liberal, gun, abortion" enough.

DW.

Im 45. Extended family are huge wool growers. I don't fly fish. I bought an AR because my 12yr old bought himself one with his mowing money. I'm still not sure why other than another gun is always good.

But I live in Utah. In fact on the Wasatch front. Land is rapidly disappearing. My legislators, who fit your no connection to the land narrative, want to SELL the rest off.

I own atv, sxs, toyhauler. I have never backpacked a day in my life. I own work boots and flannel, but I actually work.

I agree. I think there is a large segment who prefer roadless. A smaller group who are foodies. But I can only worry about multi use IF there is land. If the Lee of the world, get what they want, there is no argument. I guess its my construction background, but only an idiot picks out cabinets before he digs a whole and pours footings. As we sit, there aren't enough hunters, and enough money to fight international petroleum companies. WE WILL LOSE.

Being "intellectually pure" and $1 will get you a coffee at 7-11.

I'd prefer to win. After all, to the victors go the spoils. No public land, hunting goes with it. So does fishing.

You're correct. But you NEVER offer anything concrete. You sir are are critic. And critics have the luxury of always being right. While I do disagree with DW, at least he makes a point, and I think there is merit to some of it.

You are right. You always are when your on all sides at the same time.
